The boss will draw everyone near and bind everyone to a chain, the chain must be destroyed immediately and everyone must run away from the boss immediately. Other than that, it's a typical tank and spank fight with earth elemental adds spawn along the fight.

Currently on 4.0.X, all protection paladins are using 3-holy-power-WoG to heal herself/himself and groupmates because WoG is more important than SotR in most cases.

Avoidance vs Stamina
If your health is always topped off by the healer(s), you need more stamina, to reduce overhealing and give healer(s) more time to react.
Otherwise you need avoidance if half of the time your health is not at 100%, to avoid/reduces physical damage.
